Calling a Variety of Moving Companies Will Save You Money and Time
When planning your move, seek out at least three businesses that could help you with your move. You may notice in your comparison of the moving companies the following: there is a price difference, ratings are better or worse, and the time at which the movers can get the job done might be good or bad. The more contacts you have the better.
Also, check for discounted offers, coupons, and other places that you could save money on your moving expenses. Do you have a membership with a company that helps save you money on things like moving materials, companies, shipments, etc.? Ask the company if they accept any partner discounts.
Keep in mind, a deposit will be expected to hold the date of your move. Be prepared to list all that you have to move. Anything that fits in a box or bin will need to be in it. Fragile items should be secured. Do take the time to shrink wrap and bubble wrap your keepsakes.
Pricing will flutuate depending on weight and location. Get as much information upfront before signing anything. Be sure you have read all the fine print before handing over your debit or credit card information.
Check the Better Business Bureau and other places online for consumer feedback about a moving company.
Take into consideration these things while planning your move.

Toxic Mold Symptoms
If you discover mold in your dwelling, take photos. Use bleach to treat areas. If mold returns, be sure to take additional photos. You will take your pictures to the leasing office or contact the corporate office. Purchase a test and ship it off to be analyzed. This will come in handy in case you have to put money in escrow, deal with a future legal battle and other issues, because landlord refuses to deal with the problem. Note dates and times you had to be treated by a physician. Explain to the doctor about the presence of mold in your residence, ask about tests and treatments for yourself. Don't treat mold issues lightly, they are a matter of life or death depending on how severe.

Internet Apartment, Town Home Shopping: Finding and Renting Your Next Apartment Online
Soon it will be time to move again. With so many apartments online how can one decide which apartment is right for him or her particularly when one isn't able to view it in -person? For any number of reasons a prospect may not be able to tour an apartment, so it would make sense for a property management company or landlord to have a variety of photos and/or video showcasing the rental. Keep in mind, YouTube is widely used by realtors, so you might be able to find some great video of a apartment/town home and surrounding community.
As a shopper, you will want to pay close attention to the information about your future residence and ask questions of the management before you fill out an application and pay a fee such as:
1. Is the available suite an upstairs or downstairs unit?
2. How close is the office, pool area, workout room, laundry facility, a boiler room, parking lot, or any other place that might have potential noise near the apartment?
3. What is the color of carpet/cabinets/appliance/walls/door etc.? This might be an issue if the photo appears to show a questionable color and doesn't go well with one's furniture and decor.
4. Where is the nearest school/store/post office etc.? Sometimes one might overlook what is nearby when viewing a map, so it would be best to find out the exact location.
5. What are additional features in the suite? The ad might not have everything listed.
6. What are the on-site amenities? Again, there may be some features not listed.
7. Does the community welcome pets? Even if you don't have a pet, you will want to know because if you are sensitive to noise, you don't want a barking dog or a purring cat annoying you at your new residence.
8. Is there on-site storage, how big is it and where would it be located? You typically won't see photos of this.
9. Is there a parking garage? Another feature that you might not see in photographs.
10. How close is your building to...? Mention the address of your job, a nearby freeway, or some other place you might frequent.
It is very easy to overlook some crucial factors when shopping for an apartment. Avoid the distractions of a beautiful building design and the latest features to keep you from asking important questions.
